PRECAUTIONS FOR USE

During usage, in order to avoid failure or causing damage to the product, please pay attention to the following (including but not limited to):

• Do not expose the bare board to water, moisture, or short circuit with peripherals during operation.
• During installation and mounting, avoid deformation of the bare board caused by mounting.
• Handle with care to avoid mechanical or electrical damage to the circuit board and connectors.
• When installing peripherals (USB/IO/UART), pay attention to peripheral IO level and current output.
• When installing the serial port, do not directly connect to the RS232 or RS485 device. Check whether the TX or RX connection setup is correct.
• Check whether the input power supply is connected to the Type-C port for power input. Check whether the input voltage and current meet the requirements, considering all the peripherals presently running on the board.

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

Caution: Any changes or modifications to this device not explicitly approved by manufacturer could void your authority to operate this equipment. This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. The device has been evaluated to meet general RF exposure requirement. This quipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. This equipment should be installed and operated with minimum distance 20cm between the radiator & your body
